Passed down from generation to generation, this salad is based on one made by Jon Snow, who owned a fish store in Sagaponack called Loaves & Fishes. Ina Garten's friend bought the shop in the mid 1970's and turned it into a specialty food store and then sold it to a friend. But they all kept making Jon Snow's delicious fish salad. So here it is for you to enjoy too!

Time 45m

Yield 4-5

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs firm white fish fillets (such as halibut) or 2 1/2 lbs steaks (such as halibut)
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup celery, finely diced (2 stalks)
3/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup fennel, finely diced (optional)
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/4 cup good white wine vinegar
1/4 cup capers, drained
3/4 cup good quality mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400*F.
  • Place the fish on a baking sheet. Rub both sides of fish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, until the fish is firm and fully cooked. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the skin and bones.
  • When the fish is cool, flake the flesh into a bowl in large pieces. Add the celery, red onion, fennel, dill, lemon juice, vinegar, capers, mayonnaise, 1 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Mix gently and refrigerate for at about 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, gather all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. If you can, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking fish, it's important to give it enough space so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will steam instead of fry and it won't be as crispy.
  • Cook the fish until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork: This is the best way to tell if the fish is cooked through. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
  • Season the fish generously: Fish is a mild-flavored protein, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus to add flavor.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Fish is best served hot out of the pan. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to cool down and lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Fish is a healthy and delicious protein that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you're pan-frying, baking, or grilling, there's a fish recipe out there for everyone. With a little practice, you'll be able to cook fish like a pro. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these fish recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
